The Brush
by Shelly Hodgson
The Brush incites a vision
On a canvas to enlighten
With conviction it creates
A perplexing journey of depiction
In boundless colors and hues
With soft hand it is designed
An inspiration of its find
Stretching across our revered minds
Shedding its beauty
One of a kind
And in concluding it is confirmed
The brush is now resigned
A Moment of Truth in Reflection
by Shelly Hodgson
I looked up into the sky today
and shed a tear
For reasons I cannot say
I suppose I was recalling
All of those whom I have lost
Then suddenly realized
They were not gone at all
But merely had relocated
To a house of wonder and love
And had become all as one
It brought a quiet smile to my face
As I got into my car and drove away
Not feeling unsettled anymore
For in that moment I knew
That none of those were through
But only had just begun
Their new song to be sung
Lessons Of The Heart
by Shelly Hodgson
To achieve a passion
That flows freely within
From ones very soul
Not tainted
Nor spoiled
But only in pureness of thought
Can one obtain
The truth in being
With matters of the heart
A Soul Of A Woman
by Shelly Hodgson
In order to be recognized
others must have
desirable eyes to truly see
what exists within a woman
A woman is a complicated being and I believe it takes a real visionary of a man to fully take notice
How does a woman convey,
express and portray
what is really beneath
the surface and how deep
is her skin
How is she assured that
the next man in her life
will take notice to learn
about who she really is inside
What does it take?
For her to be honored,
respected and loved
For her strength, her abilities, her power and her love
What does it take?
It isnt a mere conversation
and it isnt a few simple words
A woman is revealing down
to her soul. If one can
only read what is inside
savoring her desires
and cherishing all she is
For the tenacious spirit
she carries within
For the very life in which
she lives for
She is not a minor intoxication of a being but rather one of great fire from within herself she only pleases endlessly
She is able to put out flames
through her gestures summed up with all her capabilities as life brings its challenges
What does it take?
For the very soul of a woman
To be learned.
